Traditional education is too concerned with delivering knowledge, and not enough with understanding peoples' actual experiences or increasing their understanding and mental capacity.
BAM's Activities
An activity is just what it is - a single activity. However when activities are combined together, they form a programme. Programmes are structured to effectively optimise the experiential learning.
BAM offers programmes of varying duration -
MULTI-DAY FULL BOARD RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMMES
The ideal group size is from 24 to 70 persons. However, we have catered for groups of up to 150 people. Please note that some activities can only be carried out in appropriate locations and some are subjected to seasonal factors.
BAM is able to run programmes and activities not listed here. We can run multi-day programmes in locations where there are SCUBA Diving, white-water rafting, wildlife sighting, mountain climbing and more. We would be happy to discuss this with you.
Please contact us for more information.
